"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Just for starters I'm brand new to this site, sort of brand new to the whole forum situation as a whole. Anyways, there is this girl that I have hung out with a couple of times recently that I have been trying to get a good read on. She is part of this group of friends of mine( that don't hang out very often) that I used to work with. The thing is I used to like her alot, and back then I was told that she liked me. we never really hit it off though, partially because I couldn't get up the guts because she threw out alot of mixed signals, The fact that we worked together made things difficult too. I know part of her deal along with mine was well for lack of a better phrase "don't S*&# where you eat." Anyways another thing that mucked it up was the addition of a friend of mine into the equation. Those details may come later but the thing is, when I'm around her she doesn't really put me into the "friend Zone." She is a little flirty, her body language, how close she gets to me, and how she tells her friend about the funny times we had at work makes me feel like she is a little interested. I thought she was before though, and she shot me down for a guy that really used to be a friend of ours but was never really a good friend. What I am debating is trying to go for her again. I wonder if last time I got shot down because I didn't make the move. Or I wonder if I will get shot down again. It shouldn't be a big deal other than the fact that I still hang out with them without having static or feeling awkward. Not much of the situation makes sense at all to me. There is alot that I think about that just confuses me.

any ideas????
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

yeah, good call. my biggest problem is usually just over thinking it, rather than just saying oh well and seeing what happens. There is always gonna be some kind of complications for me to think about. I just gotta get past them and stop hesitating.
